i like this:Life-threatening behavior or language to others or oneself (immediate removal/exclusion from campus and a minimum of two semesters out) 500 dollar fine + 30 reprimands

so if someone is mentally ill and trys to kill themselves, instead of helping the person out they suspend them for 2 semesters and charge them 500 dollars. that does seem like the christian thing to do.

Yep, McCain realizes that to have a shot in the primaries, he's gonna have to suck up to the GOP base; the far right ruined him in 2000 and he's not gonna let it happen again . . .

I must admit that I may have been infected with society's prejudices and predilections and attributed them to God . . . and that in years hence I may be seen as someone who was on the wrong side of history. I don't believe such doubts make me a bad Christian. I believe they make me human . . .

I can't speak for anyone else on the board, but I for one don't hate them for what they believe. Sure, I got irritated when my Christian friends in elementary and junior high tried to convert me, but we developed a rule that worked really well: I didn't push vegetarianism on them, and they didn't push their conception of God on me. (Of course, they wound up liking vegetarian food when I cooked it, and I like Renaissance art, but quality is quality regardless of ideology.)

There are some people at my school that keep on trying to make me go to their church. I blew up on one of the guys today. I feel really bad but they should take no as an answer and stop trying to convert me. He was saying "You know the bible says that you should not call anybody Father besides your father and God. blah blah. Come to church with me." I finally said, "You know what? Just leave me the Fu*k alone. I tried to be nice by respecting your views, so please respect my views and religion.” To be honest, I felt like a jerk but there was no alternative. You would figure that after telling them no three times that it would give them the hint. Some people are just do not care for the private space of other people.
